With Epassporte no longer accepting US depositors for online poker rooms, Poker Echecks continues to gain in popularity as the leading online deposit method for US poker players.

(PRWEB) April 14, 2008 — PokerEcheck.com has released a new information page explaining Instant Poker Echecks and the sites that accept them, namely, Poker Stars and Full Tilt Online Poker Rooms.

In recent days many US poker players have found they are no longer able to deposit or withdraw from online poker rooms using Epassporte. This decision has not been made in a formal announcement, but has been leaked through many online forums. Poker Echecks are a great alternative to Epassporte. Poker Echecks are fast, reliable and safe. Players only need a checking account to use Instant Poker Echecks from where they mainly need to provide their routing number and account number to their preferred online poker room. Poker Echecks are as fast as credit card deposits and the funds are immediately available for play. In some cases they can even be used to cash out. Currently there are only a few rooms using Poker Echecks. Poker Stars and Full Tilt(Beta Testing). Both sites are leaders in the online poker community. They both offer great software, game selection, and customer support. Visit PokerEcheck.com for full reviews of both sites as well as tutorials, which will help players become familiar to Poker Echeck deposits.

Poker Echecks are more user friendly than Epassporte. There are some main differences between the two deposit options. Epassporte charges fees for both depositing and withdrawing. Further, these fees can be rather high. Also, Epassporte deposits are typically delayed by about 2 days for verification purposes. During that delay Epassporte deposits are not available for play. Poker Echecks however have no fees charged to the depositor and all funds are immediately available for play.

Depositing for US online poker players has become increasingly difficult in recent years after the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). This act was buried inside of a "Port Security" bill that was signed in 2006 as a must pass piece of legislation and addressed many post 9/11 security issues. There is much speculation as to why this portion was inserted, mainly because this act has nothing to do with port security. Despite its name, this law does not prevent US players from playing online poker. It simply makes it more difficult to deposit onto online poker rooms. Poker Echecks remain one of the best methods to deposit online. Learn more about this law and this new deposit method at PokerEcheck.com.
